I strongly support this petition. I also would like a change MLS announcing. I think it is also poor and takes away for the games, even though the product on the field seems to get better every year, the announcing does not!
I support this petition. Tommy and Derek should be your #1.
Also as a big soccer fan please dont show scores on your ticker if games are going on and get the scores correct at that!Lyon lost 3-1 not 2-1, maybe someone should have watched the actual game on your OWN channel to get the score right. Disgraceful!!
I support this petition. if this goes through, I am just gonna do one of the following... A. watch the games in spanish B. watch the games on ESPN on mute
I support this petition. I really and honestly think that ESPN should use Tommy Smith for the world cup games. I will not watch the world cup on espn if you don't change the announcers
I support this petition. We need passion in the commentating! Not a bunch of hired guns with no concept & soul for the game. Leave them for the US matches!
I support this petition. What ESPN should do is reward the fans. Do again what they did on the "Dream Job." Have real American fans tryout for the position. Anybody would be better than the clowns they have on there now.
I support this petition. Get us some quality announcers for the greatest sporting event in the world. Your football audience deserves better than this ESPN.
I support this petition. I would also like to voice my concerns about the "sports ticker" that scrolls across the bottom of the screen. While trying to watch your coverage of Champions League games i glanced down and saw the final score of the game I was watching. That is extremely unacceptable and shows complete lack of concern for the interested viewer. Thanks and good luck.
I support this petition. And this is one "soccer mom" who DID sit through game after game, and that meant between midnight and morning, during the last World Cup!
I support this petition. Commentators who have a passion for the game make it more enjoyable. Also, I was outraged when ESPN posted the final score of the Inter v. Villareal before the game had even ended!!!
I support this petition. Also I hope ESPN do away with those poxy side by side commercial breaks that they pestered us with during last year's MLS season. WHEN I WANT TO WATCH A FOOTBALL MATCH ON TV I DON'T WANT IT SHOVED TO ONE SIDE OF THE SCREEN SO THAT ESPN CAN PUT A SIERRA MIST COMMERCIAL ON THE OTHER SIDE! Also which C U Next Tuesday's idea at ESPN was it to a) only show the last 30 minutes of Benfica v Barcelona in the Champions League last week as well as flashing the final score of the Inter Milan v Villareal at the bottom of the screen while they were showing the same game tape delayed? ESPN the world leader in sport!!!! Don't make me laugh! They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!!! I mean if they think that Irish prat Tommy Smith is the best thing since sliced bread then that just proves what a bunch of brainless planks they really are!!!!!
